Hydrology and Runoff

Subtopic: Hydrology and Runoff

Question Statement:

A rain gauge station $X$ was inoperative during a storm. The normal annual precipitation at $X$ is $N_X = 1000\text{ mm}$, and at three surrounding index stations $A, B, C$ are $N_A = 900\text{ mm}, N_B = 1050\text{ mm}, N_C = 1100\text{ mm}$. The storm rainfalls recorded at $A, B, C$ were $P_A = 45\text{ mm}, P_B = 52.5\text{ mm}, P_C = 55\text{ mm}$. Using the normal ratio method, the missing storm precipitation at $X$ in mm is:

Answer Key:

50

Step-by-Step Solution & Explanation

$\frac{P_A}{N_A} = \frac{45}{900} = 0.05$, $\frac{P_B}{N_B} = \frac{52.5}{1050} = 0.05$, $\frac{P_C}{N_C} = \frac{55}{1100} = 0.05$. Average $= 0.05$. $P_X = 1000 \times 0.05 = 50.0\text{ mm}$.
